Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), leader in software tools for structural and earthquake engineering, launches version 14.1.1 of SAFE 2014 is a ultimate tool for designing concrete floor and foundation systems.From framing layout all the way through to detail drawing production, SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process in one easy and intuitive environment. SAFE provides unmatched benefits to the engineer with its truly unique combination of power, comprehensive capabilities, and ease-of-use.

SAFE 2014 version 14.1.1 Enhancements:

- DesignReinforced and Prestressed concrete design have been added for the ACI 318-14 and CSA A23.3-14 codes. The punching shear check of corner columns for all codes that consider linear elastic shear distribution along the punching perimeter now excludes the effect of the cross moment of inertia, making the check more practical and less over-conservative. This affects the ACI, Canadian, Chinese and Indian codes.- AnalysisThe speed of nonlinear analysis has been increased.
